Buddhist Thoughts: Bubbles In The Stream

I have subrscribed to a daily Buddhist Thought service and this was today's daily meditation.

A myriad bubbles were floating on the surface of a stream. 'What are you?' I cried to them as they drifted by. 'I am a bubble, of course' nearly a myriad bubbles answered, and there was surprise and indignation in their voices as they passed. But, here and there, a lonely bubble answered, 'We are this stream', and there was neither surprise nor indignation in their voices, but just a quiet certitude. - Ask the Awakened by Wei Wu Wei

I like it.
I like the instinct of the self to assert individuality.
I like more the wisened few who see themselves as part of something larger.

Thought I would pass that along.

Cheers,
Mr.B
